About This Item

New York., 1988.. Single sheet of cut perspex in the form of a cello. (c.123 x 40.5 cm). [Provenance: Presented by Moorman to Christo and Jeanne-Claude]. A Charlotte Moorman 'cello' in perspex with her signed presentation to Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Moorman's signed presentation, in blue ink to the perspex of the cello itself reads as follows: 'Jeanne-Claude & Christo / You have always symbolized / that which I most cherish - your / love, your creativeness & your / boundless energy & enthusiasm which / is the human spirit. / I dedicate this piece and my / eternal love for you both. / CHarlotte Moorman / 12.3.88 / N. Y. C.'. Charlotte Moorman (1933 - 1991), also known as the 'Topless Cellist' was a long-time collaborator with Nam June Paik, and a key figure in Fluxus / performance / avant garde music circles, performing regularly with Yoko Ono, John Cage, Wolf Vostell, Joseph Beuys and Carolee Schneemann, amongst others. Like numerous female counterparts, she became 'blacklisted' by Fluxus organiser George Maciunas, for reasons which remain unclear.
